A dangerous heretic who turns brother against brother? Or the only man who can avert the Second Apocalypse? With the fate of the Holy War hanging in the balance, the great powers will have to choose between their most desperate desires and their most ingrained prejudice. Between hatred and hope. Between the Warrior-Prophet and the end of the world . . .

Download or read book The Darkness That Comes Before written by R. Scott Bakker and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mysterious traveler intervenes in an epic holy war in this “impressive, challenging debut” of the critically acclaimed fantasy epic (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The first book in R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series introduces readers to a strikingly original and engrossingly vivid new world. With its language and classes of people, its cities, religions, mysteries, taboos, and rituals, The Darkness That Comes Before has drawn comparison to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and Frank Herbert’s Dune. Bakker’s Eärwa is a world scarred by an apocalyptic past, evoking a time both two thousand years past and two thousand years into the future. As untold thousands gather for a crusade, two men and two women are ensnared by a mysterious traveler, Anasûrimbor Kellhus—part warrior, part philosopher, part sorcerous, charismatic presence—from lands long thought dead. The Darkness That Comes Before is a history of this great holy war, and like all histories, the survivors write its conclusion.

Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of the Prince of Nothing series returns with a new epic fantasy set in the same richly layered universe. With his Prince of Nothing series, R. Scott Bakker won legions of fans and comparison to fantasy luminaries such as J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Herbert. Now comes The Judging Eye, Bakker’s first novel in a new series set in the world of Earwa, twenty years after the end of The Thousandfold Thought—a world that is both familiar yet profoundly changed. To prevent a second apocalypse, an emperor gathers a vast army and draws a reluctant king into holy war. Meanwhile, an empress finds herself threatened by assassins and an exiled wizard seeks his enemy’s secrets. Delving even further into his richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery, Bakker delivers a fantasy novel that defies expectations.
Book Synopsis The Unholy Consult by : R. Scott Bakker
Download or read book The Unholy Consult written by R. Scott Bakker and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-02-12 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this shattering final novel, “it can at last be said that Bakker has written the epic fantasy series of the post-Tolkien era” (Speculiction). The Men of the Great Ordeal have been abandoned by Anasurimbor Kellhus, and the grand crusade has devolved into cannibalism and chaos. When Exalt-General Proyas attempts to gain control of the lost Men and continue their march to Golgotterath, it becomes clear that the lost Lord-and-Prophet is not so easily shaken from the mission. As Sorweel, the Believer-King of Sakarpus, and Serwa, daughter of the Aspect-Emperor, join the Great Ordeal, they discover that the shortest path is not always the safest. Souls, morality, and relationships are called into question when no one can be trusted, and the price for their sins is greater than they imagined. An uncompromising portrayal of a catastrophic world of myth, war, and sorcery, the Aspect-Emperor books have earned their place alongside George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Bakker’s groundbreaking series is “no holds barred from page one” (Speculiction).
